August 5-6, 2015 - Henry's, Port Rawson


We left Chimney Bay at 8:00 and docked at Henry’s at 12:45.  The trip up was beautiful, although pretty narrow and winding  The key word in Georgian Bay is “rocks.”  There are big rock islands, small rock islands, and some little islands that lurk just below the water.  We skirted around many little rock islands, always staying within the channel.  We spent the night at Henry’s, which is famous for its fish and chips, but it also has boat docks and seaplane docks.  We see a lot of seaplanes in this area.  You either boat or fly to get around here.  We left Henry’s at 8:00 the next morning for a 7 mile run to Port Rawson.  We then took the dinghy for a 9 mile run to "the Falls".  The trip was gorgeous and the falls were beautiful - flowing through many layers of the famous rocks.  We climbed some rocks overlooking the falls, found a nice place to eat our lunch, and then did more climbing.  We then returned to the boats for docktails aboard Patriot and then dinner on our boat later.



Many, many little rock islands

Some of the islands have nice houses on them

Henry's docks - some for the boats and some for the planes



On our way to the Falls - a nice dinghy ride

More homes built on the rocks

Walking up the rocks to get to the top

This was as far as Jack got in the water - it was a little chilly

The rock walls surrounding the Falls

Nice, peaceful lunch setting

We're smiling now because we haven't climbed to the top yet

Good view of the Falls

Some people have planes at the docks
